      Announces Resumption of Operations at the Orcopampa Mine</b></font>
    </p>
    <p>
      LIMA, Peru--(BUSINESS WIRE)--February 1, 2019--<b>Compa&#241;ia de Minas
      Buenaventura S.A.A.</b> (&#8220;Buenaventura&#8221; or &#8220;the Company&#8221;) (NYSE:BVN;
      Lima Stock Exchange:BUE.LM), Peru&#8217;s largest publicly-traded precious
      metals mining company, is pleased to announce that it has resumed
      operations at its Orcopampa mine.
    </p>
    <p>
      As was announced on December 12, 2018, the Company decided to
      temporarily suspend production at the Orcopampa mine, beginning on
      December 17, 2018 through January 31, 2019. This is consistent with the
      Buenaventura's strategy of prioritizing Orcopampa's De-bottlenecking
      Program over ore extraction.
    </p>
    <p>
      In accordance with Buenaventura's communicated plan, the existing
      infrastructure was successfully optimized by improving the mine
      ventilation system and reinforcing the galleries to ensure the safety of
      Orcopampa's on site team. All activities at both the mine and the plant
      will resume today with no delays.
    </p>
    <p>
      <b>Company Description</b><br>Compa&#241;&#237;a de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A. is
      Peru&#8217;s largest, publicly traded precious and base metals Company and a
      major holder of mining rights in Peru. The Company is engaged in the
      exploration, mining development, processing and trade of gold, silver
      and other base metals via wholly-owned mines and through its
      participation in joint venture projects. Buenaventura currently operates
      several mines in Peru (Orcopampa*, Uchucchacua*, Mallay*, Julcani*,
      Tambomayo*, El Brocal, La Zanja and Coimolache).
    </p>
    <p>
      The Company owns 43.65% of Minera Yanacocha S.R.L. (a partnership with
      Newmont Mining Corporation), an important precious metal producer and
      19.58% of Sociedad Minera Cerro Verde, an important Peruvian copper
      producer.
